9.1 Installation and safety information

Danger of explosion!
▶ Risk of death or severe injury.
Risk of lightning strike!
▶ If there is an elevated risk of the
Use of the product as a stepladder
▶ The housings are not designed to be used as a steplad-
der for climbing in the plant. They can be damaged if
used in this way and their function impaired. If the hous-
ing is damaged, water, dirt and combustible material can
accumulate in the housing interior. This can cause a
short-circuit. Furthermore, the deposits can cause the
device to overheat and may result in an explosion.
▶ All interconnected components must be intrinsically
safe. The operator is responsible for ensuring that the
entire system (the entire circuit) is intrinsically safe.
▶ Handle the unprotected diaphragm with extreme care, as
it is very easily damaged.
▶ For use in steam pipes, provide a cooling zone.
▶ During installation, avoid high mechanical stresses on
the pressure connection. This can result in the charac-
teristic shifting or in damage, particularly for very narrow
pressure ranges and for devices with a plastic pressure
connection.
▶ With hydraulic systems, orientate the device such that
the pressure connection is facing upwards. (Vent hole)
